Here's how I feel the intial reveal went.  With each scooter accident being a "selling point".

What would really rock is this. I've heard skype during a game is going to be possibe, but...if I could browse the internet for a car pic, and have it on the screen AND Forza open so I can look at and paint a car at the same time, woohoo! And then, and here's the pay off, instead of a picture of the car, record a 30 second video of the car as the camera pans around it and post that to Flickr...

We got a lot of information about the new Xbox at it's launch, yet there are many questions still to be answered. What is it that you want most out of the new machine? Personally my main focus is on the gaming side of it, please let me know what you think.

I just received an update that automagically dl'd and asked me if I wanted to update. That surprised me. Not sure why considering this thing is basically an android phone without the screen and cell bits. Good news, it cleared up the hitch in the menu. No more lag there, much better. The tiles for the games are still slow to load however. It's weird, sometimes they are there like they're cached but when you scroll to another 'section' they get wiped and it has to re-dl the image. Not sure what's going on there.

I guess I'm an Xbox fanboy.  I didn't set out to be, but it happened that over the course of the original and the 360, I began gaming 60% xbox, 20% pc and maybe 10% ps3 with the remainder being gobbled up by 3DS and Vita.  Wii is completely out of my rotation and has been for 2 years.  I can't even justify to myself the need for a Wii-U, which is odd, since I'm a sucker for gadgetry and have owned every Ninty console till now (yes, even Virtual Boy).  Of late, PC has been a higher percentage, but that mixture is about right for a 2 year window.

 Several of us on 2old2play gathered in site chat to watch the Xbox One reveal today. United in our admiration of the new technology, anticipation of new IPs, and disdain for Dixon Tufar, we oohed and aahed each new piece of information. Forza 5 was verified as a launch title, and the console itself will hit store shelves this year...probably around the holiday season. EA showed off a couple of sports games, Ship Wreck Simulator 2014 was showcased, as well as some COD newness.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8XKqX_kvXQ
